"This does absolutely nothing to cool the room. My normal round fan on stand cools the air better. Even tried chilling the water. Just a waste of money"

"The water tank is infact 8 litres not 4.5. It works really well with nice cool air blowing out. A good tip is to buy a couple of extra ice packs to put in the water tank."

Product has been replaced.

Posted19 June 2013

"This product has been replaced with an upgraded 7 litre cooler with a purifier, however it's very cheaply built and despite the large front grill the air only comes out of the top left corner.

Does the job, but expensive for what it is.

Freeze water in some Tupperware, and place it in front of a regular fan and it will do the same."

No, I do not recommend this product.

"This product has been upgraded to a 7 litre model - great! I assume that means better cooling. It's also remote control - either I did not read that bit or it's not in the online blurb. It also oscilates, has a timer to switch off in 1 to 7 hours and can ionise the air.It does cool the air, but nowhere near as much as an air conditioner. However, I am not able to use air-con as there is no window for the pipe to go through. And it is cooler than a fan - just.Low setting is quiet and my normal quiet radio can be heard. Middle or high setting is too loud."

Yes, I recommend this product.

"Bought this instead of an air conditioner for my salon as have nowhere to put the vent of an air conditioner. Just using the fan with the water tank produces a nice cool breeze on a warm/hot day and does not seem to use too much water. Using the ice packs in the water and the evaporator (dehumidifier) with the fan does lower the temperature of a hot room on a very hot day. Well recommended for those who cannot use an air conditioner."

"This is an air-cooler; it works by evaporating water from a material which is constantly wetted. If the humidity of the room/area you want to cool is high, then this unit will not cool as effectively as it could - if the humidity is high, no more water can be dissolved into the air, and so no cooling action is provided.

But, if it's not humid, this unit works a treat.

Shame it's very high humidty in the UK most of the time, really. This unit simply wont work when you need it most in the UK."

"This unit is very poor. All it managed to do was turn an already hot room into a very warm and humid room.

Very disappointed with it. It was bought to cool down my office where I use lots of computer equipment, and even using pre-chilled fridge water and the ice packs together, it didn't manage to lower the temperature by more than half a degree!

But it did manage to turn my office into a tropical rainforest. Ideal for all manner of wildlife I'm sure, but not very good for sensitive electronic equipment!"

"if used in a small room as mine is it does work well. fans only move the hot air around but this actually cools it"

"The picture doesn't do it justice, it is a quite smart stationary unit, if you want it to oscillate then the louvres on the front go left and right (not the unit) so it can be placed near to other objects, the remote control is excellent and you can control all functions with it and as an added bit of luxury it also has a timer that can be set from 1 - 7 hours, as you can probably gather i am absolutely delighted with this cooler.... I very highly recommend it.. Thank You"
